Abstract

When Drosophila simulans and Drosophila funebris were cultured together in population cages over many generations, there was a prolonged period of apparently stable coexistence following by a rapid exclusion of D. funebris. Drosophila simulans apparently evolves an increase in competitive ability as a result of its interaction with D. funebris. -from Authors
